"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Last week I was playing tennis with a friend. My girlfriend happend to be there and she walked over. First thing she said was that i sucked and i should stick to my other main sport (basketball). She said it somewhat jokingly but was serious. She's atheltic so she's into this stuff. We make fun of eachother all the time, but my friend was right there. it was somewhat embarassing.

Do i mention it? if so how, or is this just not a big deal and i should forget it..hmm
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Her: You suck, you should stick to your main sport.

Me: O you'll be sucking on something tonight. Just wait, we'll see who sucks then! hehe
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

yeah you should dump her for not stroking your ego, She should understand how fragile you are and that you need constant validation from others to make you feel good. Also, that when in front of your friends she should make an extra effort to pump your ego up. Yeah she is awful....

Damn foot fault!!!!

Ball into the net!!!

Your the best honey, better than that a-rod guy, way better, for sure.
